LulzSec Leader Betrays All of Anonymous
LulzSec Leader Betrays All of Anonymous
According to the FBI, you're looking at Sabu, the head of LulzSec, and the de facto King of Anonymous—easily the most notorious and influential hacker alive today. One thing: he just turned in his people to the police.
The name Sabu should be familiar: as part of LulzSec, a potent offshoot of Anonymous, he masterminded legendary attacks against the CIA, FBI, Sony, and numerous other corporate and government targets. He was their Captain Hook. That was before. Fox News reports the shadowy hack deity is not only confirmed to be unemployed 28-year-old New Yorker Hector Xavier Monsegur, but that Sabu has been "collaborating with the government for months," leading to a string of arrests around the world today. It's unclear how many will be dragged down with Sabu's nine months of federal collaborating, but it's safe to assume whatever vestiges of LulzSec remained are toast—we'll know for sure when all of the indictments are unsealed.
And according to Fox, the dragnet was thick:
On August 15, 2011 Monsegur pleaded guilty to more than ten charges relating to his hacking activity. In the following few weeks, he worked almost daily out of FBI offices, helping the feds identify and ultimately take down the other high-level members of LulzSec and Anonymous, sources said.

Translation: someone showed him how many years he was looking at in federal "pound-me-in-the-ass" prison if he didn't roll over.
Not surprising. There is no honor among the miscreants and thieves of the Left. They'll sell each other out in a heartbeat. We've seen time and again how they throw their most worshipped icons under the bus at the slightest provocation. The same will happen with their hero-traitor, Bradley Manning. Right now he's filling his Underoos, waiting to sell out Assange or anyone else they put on the table in order to avoid that life sentence hanging over him. Real brave cast of characters you have there, DUmmies.

You gotta wonder how these idiots all find each other. The only thing they're good at is hacking, because Rule #1 and #2 to getting away with it is working alone and not telling anybody.

...there may be lots of other moles in the woodwork. Actually, logic dictates that not only 'there might be', but 'there must be'.
You betcha!
